This is a 6-day, 5-night private guided tour combining Reykjavík with West Iceland. Accommodation is split between Reykjavík and the Borgarnes or Stykkishólmur area, while meals and guide language can be tailored to the group.
Tour Overview
One of Iceland's best kept secrets is undoubtedly the country's north-west corner, usually known as the Westfjords. Isolation has preserved the region´s unspoiled wilderness. Largely uninhabited, Iceland's Westfjords are widely distinguished as a destination of extraordinary landscape, history and wild life. Europe´s largest and most important bird cliffs are to be found at Látrabjarg, seals and Arctic foxes are commonly seen on the excursions.
We start our tour on the Snæfellsnes peninsula, often called „Iceland in a nutshell“ for its variety of landscapes and beautiful glacier covered volcano Snæfell and afterwards go north west to discover the magical and mystical athmosphere of the remote Westfjord peninsula by bus, boat and on foot! Every day we go for easy walks to embrace the beauty of this incredible wilderness and precious hide away!
